The Wealth Without Wall Street Podcast

What happens when a CPA evaluates Infinite Banking like any other financial product? In this episode, Russ and Joey sit down with Anthony J. Faso to explore what CPAs may be getting wrong about Infinite Banking, why he changed his perspective after the financial crisis, and how his experience eventually led him to leave his CPA firm and focus full-time on helping people implement Infinite Banking.Anthony also shares client examples involving retirement accounts, short-term rentals, business liquidity, and buying competitors during an industry downturn. The conversation goes beyond the policy itself to explore liquidity, opportunity cost, cash-flowing assets, tax deductions, and why Infinite Banking is a process, not simply a life insurance product.Top three things you will learn:-Why evaluating Infinite Banking solely by rate of return can miss the bigger picture-How liquidity can create opportunities for entrepreneurs during difficult markets-Why simply taking a policy loan does not create wealthAbout Our Guest:Anthony J. Faso is a self-proclaimed “Recovering CPA.” He was born and raised in Las Vegas, NV. After serving in the Army, he graduated with a degree in accounting from UNLV. After working for the accounting firm PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) and owning his own firm, Anthony now focuses his practice on teaching his clients the Infinite Banking Concept.Connect with Anthony J.

Entrepreneurs are wired to solve problems, take risks, and believe they can make almost anything work. But those same strengths can become dangerous when investing. Russ and Joey reveal the mindset shift that separates building a business from building wealth and why optimism can become your biggest investing weakness.In this July Passive Income Report, they compare the entrepreneur mindset with the investor mindset and share examples from their portfolio. They explain the Investor Buy Box, the framework they use to evaluate every opportunity, and why it has become more valuable than trusting a great pitch.The lesson is that entrepreneurs do not have to stop investing, but they must learn to think differently before moving their money.Top three things you will learn:-Why entrepreneurs often make poor investment decisions-How the Investor Buy Box changes decision-making-Why verification matters more than a compelling storyMentioned in this episode:-The Entrepreneur Roller Coaster by Darren Hardy - https://store.darrenhardy.com/products/the-entrepreneur-roller-coasterJuly 2026 Income At-A-Glance: -Gross Income for July: $59,099.00-Total Expenses for July: $14,108.00-Total Net Profit for July: $44,991.00-Difference b/t June & July: $883.00-% of net profit to overall gross revenue: 76%💸 Build a Passive Income Machine in 3 StepsStop trading hours for dollars and start building wealth the way the wealthy actually do 👇🧬 Step 1 – Find out what kind of investor you actually areThere are no good or bad investments, only good or bad investors.

What if the biggest problem in your finances isn’t your interest rate but where your attention is focused? In this episode, Russ and Joey continue their Becoming Your Own Banker book review by exploring Nelson Nash’s concept of “the problem.”The hosts explain why many people spend their time chasing better rates on small amounts of money saved while ignoring the larger financial environment where most of their money actually flows.Using Nelson’s airplane analogy, Russ and Joey explain how financial headwinds can slow progress and why controlling your financial environment can create a significant advantage over time.The key point is that financial freedom requires building a stronger capital system and focusing on controlling the financial environment rather than simply optimizing small pieces of the equation.Top three things you will learn:-Why interest rates may not be the most important financial number-What Nelson Nash’s airplane analogy reveals about money-How to create a system that puts your money back to workBuy the Book (Becoming Your Own Banker):📘https://www.wealthwithoutwallstreet.com/infinite-bankingInfinite Banking Example: The True Cost of Paying Cash vs. Whole Life Insurance: 👉 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h4rugVZkajc💸 Build a Passive Income Machine in 3 StepsStop trading hours for dollars and start building wealth the way the wealthy actually do 👇🧬 Step 1 – Find out what kind of investor you actually areThere are no good or bad investments, only good or bad investors.
